CAM HEYWARD IS A STUD BUT THEY ARE PAYING KIESEL MORE MONEY.PLUS TIMMONS WAS A BACK UP FOR 3 SEASONS .THEY WEREN'T WRONG ABOUT DECASTRO HE WILL THRIVE UNDER BICKNELL DID ANYONE THINK THAT KUGLER WAS OVERRATED

Interesting post/view......Each and everyone of the Draft Classes from 2008 - 2012 have had high ratings from every Pundint and Talking Head (expert) avg grade B+.........Has anyone thought what happens to these Picks once they arrive in Latrobe/Pittsburgh.......I feel poor coaching-conditioning-line-up/playing time( rookies never see the field) is as much a factor if not more than a Kid being a Bust.......Somebody(sports writer) recently said as much and pointed his finger directly a Tomlin and his staff.......just sayin......

You cannot count free agent defections, stupidity (in some cases), or injuries against the draft. You cannot know that Pouncey would hurt his legs a lot, Taamu would turn into a psychopath (tongue in cheek), or that Decastro would have a season ender. Nor can your talent evaluators go into the draft thinking, "I really like this Wallace kid but he will leave as a FA so we should pass on him." Their drafts have been subpar but not terrible and all teams go through such periods. It is easy to look backwards and criticize.

That's what I am saying.....maybe it's not so much the Pick.....as much as....What happens after the Pick.......
